JSmol is a modality of Jmol that works within a web browser without using Java. This enables JSmol to display interactive 3D molecular structures on devices that do not have Java installed, or for which Java is not available (such as smart phones and some tablet computers, e.g. iPad). Not installing Java avoids possible security risks.
However, the Java modality of Jmol gives faster performance and smoother rotation than JSmol. Also JSmol does not work well in Internet Explorer or Opera, or with very large or multiple-model structures (>20,000 atoms), while the Java form of Jmol does not have these limitations.
